Opening scene

Gunn and Fred arrive at the office to find Wesley asleep at this desk. And wake him as they try to touch the papers he’s been working with.
Wes: "Don't touch that."
Wes' jerks awake and straightens his glasses.
Angel comes in with Connor in his arms.
Wes gathers his papers together: "I must have lost track of the time. I meant to, ah - go home."
Angel: "Road to hell, right?"
Gunn: "So, Wes, you find any answers in all these stuffy books of yours?"
Angel: "He already knows the answer. He's just looking for the question."
Angel cheerfully comments about teadhing Connor to die before he vamps and leans in to bite his son while the other watch on. The baby begins to cry, Wesley looks down at his hands on the book in front of him, blood is seeping out.
Gunn and Fred smile at Wes.
Gunn: "Tick-tock, Wes. (Gunn's voice suddenly gets deep and strange sounding) Running out of time. (Echoing) Running out of time."
Wes looks over as Angel straightens up, blood smearing his vamp face, then lifts his hands off the book and stares at his bloody palms.
Wes' head come up from the open book he was sleeping on and he glances around the office.
Angel walks in, carrying Connor.
Angel: "Morning, Wes. You been here all night?"
Wes just stares up at Angel.

Intro

A baby is crying.
1.Woman: "You'd think something was killing him."
The camera pulls back to show us two women, each holding a baby sitting in a doctor's waiting room.
They are discussing how to dal with a colic-y baby, when Angel says that the white noise from a vacuum works. Angel offers advice to some the mothers.
1.Woman: "I should have thought of that! (Smiles at Angel) Mr. Dad to the rescue!"
Angel aside to Wes: "Mr. Dad! Check me out! I'm Mr. Dad. (Sees the way Wes looks at Connor) You okay, Wes?"
Wesley chalks up that he is tired. They both go in to see the doctor, Angel is concerned because he hears wheezy sound when he feeds Connor.
The doctor informs Angel that his son is healthy and blood tests should be returned within the week to confirm nothing is wrong.
Angel: "But he's okay. Connor's healthy?"
Doctor: "As healthy as a human being can possibly be."
Angel to Connor: "Did you hear that? (Shakes the doctors hand) Thank you."
Doctor: "No problem."
Wes walks to the door and opens it.
Angel grinning: "Thanks."
Wes: "Angel? (Angel looks over to Wes) You can let go of the doctor now."
Angel: "Oh. Right."
Angel stops shaking the doctor's hand and gathers up Connor.
Angel: "Come on, kiddo. (To Doctor) Thanks."
A womand sneaks in, with her baby, and grafs the vial of Connor’s blood. She replaces it with another, almost identical vial.
Back at the Hyperion during day
Angel has received a shipment , he is getting a dagger from the weapons cabinet to open the box sitting next to Gunn on the reception counter. Wes is busy translating. Fred is holding Connor.
Angel pulls two miniature hockey sticks out of the box and holds them up.
Gunn: "Some kind of boomerang vamp stake?"
Angel hands one to Gunn: "No! They're itty-bitty hockey sticks!"
Angel demonstrates, then pulls a small jersey out of the box and holds it up. It says' Connor 03' on the back.
Angel takes the puck out of the box and tosses it to Gunn. , then he is taking a drink from a glass of blood, sitting on the counter.
Fred is concerned that Cordy hasn’t called with a vision.
Gunn drops the puck on the floor and tires out the small hockey stick.
Angel: "Maybe they're not near a phone. Come on, it's a vacation! They're not gonna waste it all on a dark hotel room - you know, together, where the food's delivered and there is no reason to go outside. You know, hockey is a great sport."
Gunn: "You realize this is the whitest sport known to man?"
Angel tells them he can’t wait to see Connor grow up, he is going to play hockey, since the games are played indoors, and mostly at night.
Angel: "I know it's a little bit too early to be thinking about stuff like this, but I -I can't wait to watch him, you know, grow up. (Takes another sip of blood) For him to lose his first tooth. (Gunn straightens up and watches Angel with a slight smile) Learn how to ride a bike. Ha."
Wes un-hunches from his book as Angel's voice drifts into his office.
Angel: "I want to help him pick out a tux for his senior prom. I just can't wait to see who he's gonna to be. I know it's mushy, but it's just... He makes me so happy."
Angel and Gunn continue to play until Angel breaks a window with the puck.
Wes looks up at the sound of the breaking glass.
Angel, holding up his hockey stick: "Yeah, you know, these - this isn't regulation size."
Aubrey: "Excuse me. Is this Angel Investigations?"
They turn to see a woman with short, dark hair standing in the lobby.
Aubrey: "I need your help."
Her son snuck out of the house to go to the pier, so she went after him. She waited for him to come home, and he did – right before dawn. She tells them his face was different, that she didn’t let him in, and with the sun coming up he just burned up.
Wes looks down at his hands, then back at Aubrey.
Wes: "You say your son went to the pier that night? (Aubrey nods) Gunn, why don't you do a little recon while it's still light out."
Gunn: "I can just gear up and take care of it."
Wes: "No. If there is a nest at the pier, we go as a group. Strictly reconnaissance."
Gunn: "Okay. Fred and I will check it out."
Aubrey: "If I could have found that thing myself, I would have killed it with my bare hands. - It made me afraid of my own little boy. (Angel looks down at Connor) I don't understand any of this. I don't know what to do."
Smash cut to Aubrey reporting to a group of people ranged around a seated Holtz.
These are the people Justine has recruited, to take down Angel. Aubrey is giving a rund down of the staff at AI, but she leaves out Cordy, since she and Groo weren’t present.
We get an outside shot of an older mansion by day. In a darkened room, two men with quarterstaffs fight against a chained vampire.
Justine sits to one side, looking at the pictures of Angel, Wes, Gunn, and Fred pinned up on a board. Two men are fighting vampires with quarterstaffs. Justine and Holtz are discussing how people can work for a vampire. Holtz reminds her he made a pact with a demon. Holtz says that things aren’t always black and white, but Angelus is evil. The vampires break free of their chains, and Justine jumps up to aid the two men. They rechain the vampire, and Holtz knows he was right to pick Justine ; she was meant for this job.
Sahjhan: "Thank god. I was starting to get bored."
Holtz turns as Sahjhan materializes out of a shivering air behind him. Justine swings the sword around to decapitate Sahjhan, but it just goes right through him.
Sahjhan is growing impatient , he wants Holtz to take Angel out – NOW. But Holtz has other plans. When Sahjhan insults Holtz’s family, Holtz tells him to leave. Sahjhan takes this threat lightly, until Holtz threatens to trap his dimensional essence in a Resikhian Urn.
Sahjhan: "This isn't over, Holtz"
Sahjhan shivers back out of existence.

Back at the Hyperion
Wes is on the phone at his desk looking down on "The Father will kill The Son" on his notepad. He is talking to a wizard and directs him to do his job for the money he was paid.
Fred shows up and suggests that Wesley hook up with Aubrey, but Wesley brushes it off and says the job is their purpose, not dating.

At WR&H
Lilah is on the phone in her office. She is talking to her mother when suddenly Sahjhan appears. She is not shocked to see him, and she knows quite a bit about him already.
Lilah: "You're Sahjhan, aren't you? I may be jaded, but I do my homework. And there's a girl downstairs, she's got records on everything that ever happened. (Sits back) My company rocks."
She knows he put Holtz on ice, so he could take care of Angel now, but she tells him that she can’t help expedite the process.
Lilah: "I hate to disappoint you, but Wolfram and Hart's official policy is to let Angel live until he becomes useful. (Lilah is scribbling on the notepad on her desk) I'm sworn to obey that policy."
Lilah holds up the notepad so Sahjhan sees that she has 'count me in' written on it.
Sahjhan reveals that he has a plan, but it requires the blood of Angel’s son. Lilah surprises him by explaining that it’s already possessed by the firm since they stole it from the hospital where Connor was cared for.

On the pier ; a sunny day
At a carnival on the pier, Fred tries to concentrate on work while Gunn is more interested in playing around and spending time with her. Wesley’s knowledge of their relationship is discussed and Gunn finds out that Wesley said something to Fred that led her to question the appropriateness of their relationship.
Fred: "Maybe when we're out like this we should - we should just work."
Gunn: "No. Can't do it that way. Maybe I'm greedy, but I want it all: the great girl *and* the great job. I don't care what Wesley says, but I'm not giving up either without a fight. (Crouches down so his face is level with Fred's) How about you?"
Fred shakes her head, her face breaking into a big grin.
Gunn: "Good. (He leans down and gives her a kiss) Now, how about we go looking for some vampires?"
Fred smiles up at him. Gunn wraps an arm around her shoulders and the two of them walk off.
At the Hyperion
Angel is crouched in front of Connor's bassinet, holding a stuffed animal with a rattle inside, playing with Connor.
Wes tells Angel he is leaving the office. Angel takes a sip from his glass of blood, and asks Wes why he is on edge.
Wes: "I just wanna make sure everything's okay."
Angel: "You mean with Connor."
Wes nods.
Angel turns back to cooing at Connor: "You didn't mean to give Uncle Wesley such a headache now, did you?"
Wes: "I won't be long."
Angel, still smiling at Connor: "Give us a smile. (Connor smiles) Yeah!"
Wes turns to leave.
Angel: "Hey, Wes."
Wes turns back, and their eyes meet.
Angel: "Thanks. You're a good friend."
Wes leaves as Angel goes back to playing with Connor.
Back at the carnival
The pier is adark and deserted. Fred wants to turn back, but Gunn notices a man trying to break into the carousel building. They follow him and go inside. There the carousel is turned on, while it turns silently three vampires reveal themselves.
Justine and another man are watching it all from an opening up in one wall of the building. Justine is also recording it all on a video camera.
Gunn engages two of the vampires, tricking the third to take down one of his own fellow vampires by ducking out from under his attack. Gunn tells Fred to get out of there.
Fred runs away at Gunn’s insistence and he turns to the vampires to fight them. Gunn stakes the first vampire, but the third vampire grabs Gunn and lifts him off the ground. The second vampire starts to come up behind Gunn, when Fred tells Gunn to watch out behind him – she couldn’t leave him there.
Fred tosses Gunn one of the broken spokes of the wooden railing and tosses it to Gunn, while picking up another for herself. Gunn catches it and stakes the vampire coming up behind him, while Fred dusts the one holding him.
Justine and her friend depart after videoing what they wanted.
Gunn and Fred appreciate the fact that they are both alive. They wrap each other in a tight embrace and kiss.
Somewhere outside
Wes is walking through some bushes looking down at an electronic compass.
He reaches his coordinates, and looks up to see a giant hamburger face and legs and a speaker. He is outside a fastfood place. He performs a ritual and the plastic hamburger comes to life.
Loa: "How dare you call on the Loa?!"
Wes: "I-I - I come in supplication, oh great one, begging for answers to questions only your power can reveal."
Loa: "You have answers, human. You search now, only for the question."
Wes: "Is it true? Will Angel really kill his son as it says in the prophecies?"
Loa: "That the vampire will devour his child is certain. The dark question *you* harbor is only 'when.'"
Wes: "No. - The dark question I harbor is 'how do I stop it?'"
Loa: "It can not *be* stopped."
Wes: "It has to be stopped! (The Loa growls) There must be a way..."
Red lighting flashes from the Loa's eyes into Wesley, knocking him to the ground.
Loa finally reveals the three portents – an earthquake, a fire, the sky turning to blood the prophecy will come true.
With that the hamburger shrinks down in size and turns back into a lifeless statue.
At a bar
Lilah is sitting there, Sahjan turns up. He goes sit down besides her. Lilah wants to know why he wants Angel dead, but he just says everyone has their reasons. Lilah has a plan already in motion to take down Angel.
A the Hyperion , day time
Wes is sitting in a chair by Cordy's desk, staring at Connor in his bassinet. He looks up when someone knocks on the counter and sees Aubrey standing there.
She has come to pay Wesley for the team’s eradication of the vampires. She tries to come onto Wesley but he calls her on her attempt to play him. Angel appears behind her and makes it clear that he knows who she’s working for. She tries to stake Angel, but he grabs her, and she drops the stake.
Angel lets go of her and takes a step back.
Angel: "I'm sorry about your son."
Wes: "Is that how Holtz found you? Because of what happened to your son?"
Aubrey just looks from Wes to Angel.
Angel: "You're right to protect him. Holtz is one of the good guys. He has every right to hate me. And if he ever - comes close to one of my people ever again, or tries to touch a hair on my son's head - I'll kill him - and anyone who gets in the way. You might wanna mention that."
Aubrey takes on last look at Angel and runs out.
Angel turns to look at Wesley. The book on Wes' desk starts to rattle as the whole hotel begins to shake from a minor earthquake.
Angel's hurries out of Wes' office, but by the time he gets to Connor, everything is stable again.
At Holtz’s place
He is watching the video that Justine made at the carnival of Fred and Gunn fighting the vampires.
He hears footsteps, and turns around to see Aubrey. He knows that the team found her out. Holtz is annoyed that she allowed herself to be followed.
Wes: "Don't blame her."
Aubrey and the others spin around to see Wesley standing in the doorway behind them.
Wes: "I would have found you eventually."
One of Holtz followers draws a knife and stalks closer to Wes.
Follower: "Maybe we should cut out his tongue - send a message to Angelus."
Wes: "Maybe."
Wes hauls back and hits the man, dropping him to the ground. Holtz raises a hand to stop others from attacking Wes.
Wesley esplains that he is there in peace and tries to persuade Holtz that Angel is not the same vampire as Angelus. Holtz knows too much pain at Angelus’s hands to care about the difference ; he also knows why Wesley is there and suggests he prepare for what he’ll feel when Connor is killed.
Wes just looks at Holtz.
Holtz: "When I put my son's body into the ground, I had to open the coffin, just to know that he really was in there. You also may discover - that a child's coffin, Mr. Wyndham-Pryce - it weighs nothing."
Wes stands there, not saying a word.
Fred and Gunn are sitting in the diner. Gunn has barely touched his food. He has come to realize that he isn’t mad at Wes. He understands that Wes is under a lot of pressure, but he is worried that they can’t do so many things at once and is worried about the consequences if things don’t work out. She wonders what his decision would be if he had to chose between her and work.
Gunn: "If we have to - I choose you. - I came on too strong, didn't I?"
Fred looks at him, starts to smile.
Fred: "No. - You came on just right."
Gunn steals a fry off Fred's plate.
Gunn: "Look. Lets try not to worry too much. Wesley is a good man."
Back at the Hyperion
We see Wes walk down the upstairs hallway in the Hyperion.
Gunn voice over: "He'll do the right thing. He always does."
Wes stops in front of Angel's door.
Angel is carrying Connor to his crib as he hears a knock on the door.
Angel sets a bottle into a pot of water on the stove.

Wes walks in, and stares at Angel as he folds laundry.
They talk about Aubrey and her reasons for joining with Holtz and Angel’s unconditional love for Connor.
Angel: "I used to think that. I thought love was - something that swallowed you whole, ripped you up inside, but, you know, what I feel for Connor, even that fear... - Wes, it's - it's not terrible. (Sighs and looks down) It's beautiful."
Wes looks at Angel. Looks down and begins to laugh quietly. Looks back up at Angel, grinning.
Angel smiles back: "What's so funny?"
Angel gets up and goes to check on the bottle.
Wes: "Life. Life is funny. Listening to stupid people talking to hamburgers is funny. Worrying about things that will never... - It's all so incredibly funny and - and beautiful."
Angel is drying off the bottle as a second, harder earthquake hits. Pots and pans fall out of the cupboards.
Then we get a mix of flashes
Lilah is looking around her shaking office a smile on her face.
Justine is standing in Holtz mansion, legs braced against the shaking. Holtz turns and looks at her.
The lit stove in Angel's suite topples over. A huge column of flame shoots out, throwing Angel across the room. A burning beam drops from the ceiling between Wes and Angel.
Holtz tackles Justine out of the way of a shelf as it come crashing down. Justine looks up into Holtz face as he is lying on top of her.
Angel runs to Connor's crib and gathers his son up in the sky-coloured blanket he is lying on.
He grabs Wesley, and tosses him into the hallway, then follows him. Angel is bleeding from a large cut in his forehead. Wesley looks at the blood, as it drips onto Connors’s blanket - a light blue blanket with fluffy white clouds on it.
Wes: "Earthquake. Fire. Blood."
Angel, breathing hard: "I thought we were gonna be trapped in there, huh? (Looks down at the bloodied blanket, then smiles at Wes) At least I would have had something to snack on."
Off of the look on Wes' face.
